Rashid SumailaProfessor and Director,Fisheries Economics ResearchUnit, The University of BritishColumbia (UBC) Institute forthe Oceans and Fisheries and The ocean is a source of food, income andcultural identity for billions of people, while alsounderpinning global trade, regulating the climateand sustaining an extraordinary diversity of life. Yetit is under mounting pressure from overexploitation,pollution, habitat destruction and climate change.These forces are degrading marine and coastal reasoning and social justice in a clear and practicalway. Healthy marine ecosystems and thrivingcoastal communities are not competing objectives– they are deeply interconnected. A regenerativeapproach requires rethinking investment,governance, technology and innovation, capacity This report arrives at an important moment.Across sectors and communities, there is growingdemand for economic approaches that advanceboth human well-being and ecological recovery. This report – written by an internationally diversegroup of leading experts from the private andpublic sectors, civil society and academia –examines how to shift from the status quo towardsa regenerative blue economy. Rather than apurely extractive focus on profits and short-termreturns, this approach offers an ambitious visionin which ocean-based economic activity helpsrestore ecosystems, strengthen resilience and For this reason, this publication will be valuableto business leaders, policy-makers, practitioners, As co-chairs of the Global Future Council for aRegenerative Blue Economy, we recommend this What makes this approach especially valuable isits ability to connect ecological integrity, economic Executive summary Sustaining the ocean economy is no longerenough. Moving towards regeneration canreverse ecosystem decline while supporting This report makes the case for the ocean economyto move beyond sustainability towards regenerationand proposes an operational framework to enablethis transformation. The ocean economy generatestrillions in annual value and supports billions of This report sets out four interdependentsystem levers and shows how their interactionscan help deliver on the ambition of a regenerative 1.Governance:Integrated ocean governancecan help align policies across sectors, managetrade-offs, and address the combined impacts While the sustainable blue economy has helpedreduce harm, it remains focused on maintainingcurrent conditions, often within already degradedsystems, and has not been sufficient to reverseecosystem decline. A regenerative blue economygoes further. It requires economic activity thatactively restores marine ecosystems, strengthens 2.Finance:Redirecting finance through publicinvestment and innovative commercialinstruments can shift incentives away from 3.Human capacity:Strengthening humancapacity can help ensure that local actorshave the skills and resources to design and Ocean industries are central to thistransformation. The report frames them asa portfolio of traditional, growth and frontier 4.Technology and AI:Advances in technologyand artificial intelligence can improve oceanmonitoring, risk management and coordination, –Traditional sectors, such as fisheries,ports,shipping and energy, remain economicallydominant but must undergo rapid, managedtransitions, to reduce their environmental Crucially, regeneration does not come from isolatedactions, but from how these levers work together to Social equity is central to the transition. Coastalcommunities, Indigenous Peoples and small-scale ocean users are key stewards of marineecosystems, and their rights, knowledge andparticipation need to be reflected in decision- –Growth sectors, including offshore renewables,coastal tourism, aquaculture, desalination andwater treatment represent the near-term engineof change, with the potential to scale up in ways –Frontier sectors, such as ecosystemrestoration, blue bio
